This week is Spirit Week in the middle school for Vincent. The other night he announced that the following day was crazy hair day. What do they say about parents? That we live vicariously through our children. Oh yes, totally. Me personaly, I’ve always wanted to wear a mohawk, but of course never got theContinue reading Mohawk Vinnie
It’s almost feeling like the weather might start shifting in Hong Kong. Today there was a bit of a breeze all day long, and the humidity is definitely less. We still have some time before it gets cold here, but I always love the shift that begins to happen in October. These pictures were actuallyContinue reading Almost Fall
